Today's card was made especially for Challenge #133 over at The Color Hues. Their theme is Lime Green and Violet. And neutrals are always welcome too.
Just yesterday I received a huge (for me) order from Pink & Main. They're having an amazing sale. I got eleven items for less than $100.00. One thing in my order was the Party Hats Die for just $5.00. I've been eyeing it and at that price I couldn't resist.
So naturally I wanted to play with it for this challenge. I opted for a lot of shine and glitz for this, and it worked out perfectly because a friend gifted me the Metallic Paper Pack below and it just so happened to have two perfect colors for this challenge in it. Sometimes I get things from people and think that I'll never use them, but I'm usually surprised at how handy they come in.
